On June 22, 2026 at 04:00 UTC, a magnitude 4.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck 67 km S of Puerto San José, Guatemala, at a depth of 36.8 km and coordinates 13.3168°, -90.8915°. This earthquake was detected by 114 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 370, placing it among routine seismic activity.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 338 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.4 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
